Probabilistic and Controlled Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State via One Dimensional Five-Qubit Cluster-Class State

Abstract

We propose a three-party scheme for probabilistically teleporting an arbitrary two-qubit state. In the scheme, a one-dimensional five-qubit cluster-class state is utilized as the quantum channel. The sender performs two Bell-state measurements (BSMs) on the qubits at hand and the controller makes a single-qubit measurement. With the sender’s and the controller’s helps, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability by introducing an auxiliary qubit and making appropriate unitary operations. Moreover, the total success probability and classical communication cost of the present scheme are also calculated.
